Tempest


Under dreamy skies we live crazy lives,
Stormy winds blow on cloudy nights.
Lightning strikes on comely seas, 
Pouring rain following rowdy breeze

Every wave hums a vivid tune,
The calming tune under shady moon.
Depths and patterns unfold and bloom,
Terrifying music, the waves groom

Clouds stretch deep into the sky,
Stars surround the shady moon.
Taking shapes as moments pass by,
Portrait drawn at a stagnant moment in time.

Humid winds twist and turn, 
For a prey, they search and yearn. 
Ravaging through with no concern, 
Colossal finale, they scream and churn. 

The tempest, now in sight, 
Pouring down, what a night. 
Tidal waves crash, with all their might,
Lightning flares with bright white light

Waves coursing from miles away, 
Tossing and thrashing through night and day,
Ceaselessly trying to reach the bay,
Swirl and curl as they crash and play.

The clouds weep upon barren land, 
Cobblestone streets and golden sand. 
Their tears alive in the black of night ;
Glistening white in the morning light.

Listening to the heart

The yearning ---------------------- I had grown tired of the city I was living. Life had started to follow a routine. It was comfortable and it was good but in those minutes between, I had started to think otherwise. It had reached a point where those few minutes between started to influence the good times and I started to consider. Maybe it is time, I moved on. Move on from this comfort zone I was currently living  to something new. Doubt ---------- Right now, there are moments I wonder if made the right choice. I realize it only means I should have done it sooner. The smooth and fast pace is now replaced by a need for patience, and learning and creating the new normal. I am now surrounded by a new set of people. A friend had once pointed out, " You are an acquired taste". So in all those moments of anxiety, I remind myself, give it time. Let the episode of your brash arrogance fade away, you can shine after. Until then, stay focused, there is a herculean task ah...

A lesson for all times

Remember the boy who cried wolf, Deceiving the good folk again and again, Not realizing the repercussions, The villagers lost faith. Remember the boy who cried wolf, Whose momentary lapse in judgement, For a fading temporary amusement, Lost him his life and livelihood. Not knowing the repercussions, He amused in the pleasure of his actions, Not knowing the consequence, He indulged in his dishonest deeds. When the day of reconning arrived, He was standing alone, Facing the might of karma, What goes around comes back around The lessons of honesty and faith he learnt, Though too little too late, Passed down through generations, From a mother to son, father to daughter Helping mold young minds, To imbibe the values of honesty, In the grand scheme of things, Understand the value of trust and faith. But life is such, It tempts one to lie and cheat, Than stand your ground, Because it is easier to sway.

Stone Gods

Photo Credit: Chris Ensey Worship Gods carved into stones, With deep reverence stemming from generations, Wishing for health and prosperity, For yourself and your next of kin. Shower gifts and offerings in plenty, Hoping for a blessings, a better future, In return for our unsullied adoration, Pray stone Gods save our tomorrow. Do they truly? Or is it a facade of our "self", A "self" that we are too estranged to see, A "self" lost in the pages of our beliefs. Aching for validation in rocks, Why don't we chisel inward through the veils of our glorified illusion, Seek within, and reverberate with every speck for all the faith we yearn, And in return find the self that was once born pure. But if you must, pray to the sun that shines every morning, Pray to the winds that bring rain, Pray to the earth that lay beneath, Pray to your health that suffers your carnage everyday.
